I tell myself
What's done is done
I tell myself
Don't be a fool
Play the field
Have a lot of fun
It's easy when you play it cool
I tell myself
Don't be a chump
Who cares
Let him stay away
That's when the phone rings
And I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray
Let it please be him
Oh dear God
It must be him
It must be him
Or I shall die
Or I shall die...
Oh hello, hello
My dear God
It must be him
But it's not him
And then I die
That's when I die...
After a while
I'm myself again
I pick the pieces
Off the floor
Put my heart
On the shelf again
You'll never hurt me anymore
I'm not a puppet
On a string
I'll find somebody else someday
That's when the phone rings
And once again
I start to pray
Let it please be him
Oh dear God
It must be him
It must be him
Or I shall die
Or I shall die...
Oh hello, hello
My dear God
It must be him
But it's not him
And then I die
Again I die...
Let it please be him
Oh dear God
It must be him
It must be him
Or I shall die....
